Article Synopsis
- Dysregulation of lipid metabolism can cause dyslipidemia and obesity, which contribute significantly to cardiovascular disease, prompting this study to explore six plant extracts (ACE-, RSE-, CHE-, CE-, AGE-, CGE-) as potential therapies for these conditions.
- The study found that RSE contained the highest levels of polyphenols and phenolcarboxylic acids, while CGE exhibited significant concentrations of flavones; both rosemary and hawthorn extracts showed notable antioxidant properties.
- Using computational methods, the research suggested that rosmarinic acid and chlorogenic acid could effectively interact with the active site of carbonic anhydrase 5A, indicating their potential as anti-obesity agents, warranting further experimental validation in vivo.
